A tech-saavy cyborg with too much time on her hands. A quick-thinking detective with a fascinating new case. A mad scientist on the verge of a groundbreaking advancement.

A young girl wants nothing more than to lead an interesting life, but is constantly faced with empty time and incessant boredom. When she turns to computers to pass the time, she quickly finds herself entangled in a world of less-than-legal programming, soon earning a reputation as an exceptional hacker. When she discovers someone else with a mind like hers, it doesn't take long for her to become preoccupied by the mystery of him, and she longs to find out his identity. Unfortunately, a clever international detective is a little too determined to track her down, and a scientist with a disregard for ethics has other plans for her, involving an experiment that he believes could revolutionize humanity, but at what cost?

Three people, three stories, three obsessions, intertwined in this sci-fi tale set in a cyberpunk-inspired world in the year 2120. 

What do teenage hacker Kalix Raven, UNBI Agent Rachel Cassanova, and Dr. Rovart Blayne all have in common?

They're all a little obsessed.

Sentilia by ChristineParentBooks

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

Down Under by AmyMarieZ

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."

Neon Grave by NineLight

Sequel to Hacking the Sun. [Updated every Tuesday]. In 2130, the world is still reeling from the collapse of the largest corporation. A recent crime wave has rattled the denizens of the old sprawl. Meanwhile, in the Union, terrorism is on the rise. Desperate for answers, shadow agents look to Jessica Leibzin, the Lynx, to search for clues and find those responsible. Another conspiracy, however, has seemingly taken root. To combat a hacker, you need another hacker. Unfortunately, they are a dime a dozen, and Jess has to navigate new circles of the underworld to quell the growing friction between aliens and humans. This time around, she's going to need more than a gravity board and forbidden AI. Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she's thrust headfirst into the fires of cyberspace and reality. Unbeknownst, the greatest threat doesn't lurk in the shadows or around the corner. It comes from the sky.

"Sparks & Steel: Jinx in Detroit" A Robocop x Arcane Crossover Story by Chris9417

After a catastrophic misfire in Piltover, Jinx finds herself ripped from Zaun and thrown into a dystopian Detroit-a city on the brink of collapse, ruled by crime and corporate greed. Here, Omni Consumer Products privatizes the police force, and a cyborg law enforcer named RoboCop walks the streets, a machine of justice in a world teetering on chaos. Thrown together by circumstance, Jinx and RoboCop form an unlikely partnership: chaos and steel, sparks and precision. As they battle rogue operatives, criminal networks, and lingering shadows from both her past and his corporate overlords, the duo fights not just to survive, but to restore hope to a city that has forgotten it. From explosive street battles to quiet moments of reflection, Detroit becomes a new home for a girl who once thrived in chaos-and for a lawman learning what it means to protect with more than just cold metal. Will Sparks and Steel be enough to save the city, or will its shadows finally consume them both?
